Ginger Root and Luna Goami to Release Theme Songs for Kyoto Animation’s New Anime Sparks of Tomorrow

The opening and ending themes for the upcoming TV anime Sparks of Tomorrow are officially set for global digital release. The opening theme by Luna Goami will drop on July 6, followed by the ending theme from Ginger Root on July 13 across all major music streaming and download platforms.

Sparks of Tomorrow is the latest TV anime from the renowned studio Kyoto Animation. Set in an alternate-history, early 20th-century Kyoto where steam power reigns supreme, this adventure tale follows the chance meeting of a boy obsessed with the “age of electricity” and an earnest young girl living with the memory of her late mother. The series premieres on July 5, 2026, airing on Japanese television and streaming globally exclusively on Netflix.

The opening theme is performed by multi-talented singer and lyricist Luna Goami, known for her vocal work on hit titles like The Apothecary Diaries and the blockbuster film Last Mile. Handling the ending theme is Southern California indie-pop artist Ginger Root, whose breakout track “Loretta” has amassed over 48 million streams. Sparks of Tomorrow marks the first official anime theme song project for both artists.

The opening theme “Eureka Evrika” is composed by Hitomi Koto, who also handles the series’ soundtrack, with lyrics written by Luna Goami herself. The track masterfully pairs driving percussion with soaring strings to capture the high-octane energy of the upcoming adventure.

A preview of the song is available now in the latest promotional video: Sparks of Tomorrow – Official Trailer 2.

Details for the ending theme by Ginger Root have also been revealed. Titled “Soarin’,” the track was written, composed, and arranged entirely by the artist himself. The song opens with a melancholic intro reminiscent of approaching storm clouds, before giving way to rhythmic percussion that effortlessly drives the story forward.

A teaser video featuring a preview of “Soarin’” is now available: Ginger Root “Soarin’” – Ending Theme Teaser.

Comment from Luna Goami:

Sometimes reality surpasses our dreams. That is exactly how I felt when I was chosen to perform the opening theme for Kyoto Animation, a studio I deeply love.

I immersed myself in the background materials and the script, letting Hitomi Koto’s soundscapes and the director’s vision guide my creative process. The song itself is vibrant and wondrous, yet driven by a powerful momentum. Keeping the core themes of “belief” and “doubt” in mind, I strolled through the streets of Kyoto to find the right words to capture this unique universe. The moment the invented phrase “Eureka Evrika” came to me, it felt like a literal lightbulb switching on in my mind.

This is a story of rebirth and the sparkle of life. Because I was pregnant during the production, there were challenging moments, but it filled me with a profound happiness that I poured entirely into the track. I can’t wait to share this music and story with everyone!

Comment from Ginger Root:

The day is finally here for everyone to hear my very first anime ending theme! Words can’t describe how incredible it feels to take this on. As a massive otaku myself, I still can’t quite believe I got to make a real anime song!

The title of the track is “Soarin’.” Flying through the sky is something regular humans can’t actually do, right? But if you push yourself as hard as you can, don’t you feel like it’s within reach? Inspired by the themes of the anime, I chose this title to capture that exact feeling: if you chase your dreams, absolutely anything is possible!

I’m just as excited as all of you to watch the premiere!

He launched the project in earnest in 2017 during his college years, making waves with a distinct sound described as “aggressive elevator soul” and gaining traction through popular cover videos on YouTube. Handling everything from songwriting and recording to mixing and mastering himself, Lew also draws on his film-school background to craft all of his own art and music videos from scratch.
